Chapter 1215: Coming In From the Side and Phil’s Worries

Luke nodded regretfully. “Then take your time. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money for the equipment. Also, it can be paid in installments, or we can talk about switching out old ones for new.”

Damon and Mindy were both stunned. “What?” Why did that sound like a secondhand store?

Luke took out a USB and tossed it to Mindy. “This is the contact number of the supplier who provides me with special equipment. If you need anything in the future, contact him directly. However, he has his own rules. If he likes you, paying by installments or putting it on credit is fine. If he doesn’t like you, he won’t sell you anything no matter how much money you offer. Communicate with him yourself; I won’t get involved.”

He then stood up. “Let’s go. Take me to the training room. I’ve learned something interesting recently. The two of you can try learning it. It’ll be good for you.”

Damon and Mindy were both surprised, but Mindy immediately led the way and asked, “What’s the trick? Can I fly? Or turn into Batman?”

Pondering for a moment, Luke shook his head. “No, Batman’s stocky; that wouldn’t suit you.”

Mindy looked down at her short figure…?Did I say I was talking about size?

Two hours later, the three of them walked out of the training room.

Both father and daughter were exhausted, but they were pleasantly surprised.

Mindy chased after Luke and asked, “V, when can I use my ‘battle aura’ to break a sandbag like you?”

Luke said, “Within a year. The exact time will depend on how much effort you put in. But remember what I said before: It’s a training method for a superpower. It’s enough to use it to save your life. Try not to expose yourself.”

Both father and daughter nodded.

This “battle aura” was very practical for strengthening and protecting oneself.

On the flipside, it was a little useless as an external attack, and wasn’t as useful as a gun.

After exchanging a few more words, Luke turned invisible again.

Mindy exclaimed in envy again, and her head was rubbed by an invisible hand. “If you like it, you can order it from that bigshot who sells everything. Maybe he’ll be willing to give you a set because you’re cute?”

Mindy said, “Really? Hm, wait, then there’s no hope for Dad!”

Damon’s face darkened.

He was sure he wasn’t cute, nor did he ever want anyone to think he was cute!

Luke chuckled and left.

The father and daughter sighed almost at the same time as they watched the faint shadow disappear into the darkness.

Then, they looked at each other and laughed at the same time. It wasn’t loud, but it was obvious that they were delighted.

Luke, on the other hand, was overjoyed when he saw the two notifications in the system.

System:?Damon McCreedy has passed the evaluation to become a 1-star teammate.

System:?Mindy McCreedy has passed the evaluation and has been upgraded to a 2-star teammate.

Buy one, get one free. Dropping by this time with “warm greetings” had indeed been worth it.

Of course, the most important still was Mindy.

It was too hard to win the trust of an old man like Damon, who had experienced bizarre and painful things.

But Luke had come in from the side and started with Mindy, which finally made the old man drop his guard.

The three of them had dealt with Frank D’Amico, the drug lord, together. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were comrades.

Damon hadn’t been able to pass the teammate evaluation for a long time, probably because he was too guarded, and his level of trust couldn’t meet the system’s requirements.

After giving them the basic version of the Kunlun Chi Refining technique, Luke finally gained enough trust.

After meeting the system’s requirements, a lot of things could be left to them in the future.

He didn’t need them to take any big risks; he just needed them to do some support work.

Luke wasn’t short of combat ability; he was short of people he could trust.

Wade could also be considered one of them, but it was a pity that there was often a screw loose in his brain.

Luke didn’t dare hand over confidential tasks to this psycho mercenary.

However, there was a problem with Damon’s income.

They wouldn’t accept outright charity. After all, if Damon really needed money, he could do a private job on the side for 100,000 or so.

But like he said, he wanted Mindy to get used to an ordinary life, and didn’t plan to take any private jobs for now.

Did Luke have to open another shell company to break into the comics market? Muttering to himself, Luke quickly made up his mind.

A technology company, cell phone company, mining company, management company, renovation company – he already had a hand in all of them. Adding a comic book company didn’t seem like a big deal, right?

Once your debts piled up, you became immune to worries.

In any case, he was familiar with opening a shell company.

As long as he forked out the money, finding a suitable agent or company wouldn’t take long at all.

You could do whatever you wanted as long as you had money! This was the convenience of a country that ran on money.

…

The next day, Phil Coulson received an unknown call. He said a few words before he hung up.

After opening a certain webpage and carefully reading a certain message, he sighed. “Even Batman wants to do business in this society now?”

Thinking hard, he didn’t give Nick Fury a call in the end.

He felt that it was better to confirm things with Batman himself.

Although Batman never said it outright, Phil knew that this number one superhero didn’t like the director.

Previously, he had tried using the contact left behind by Batman.

At the mention of the director’s name, Batman either didn’t respond, or simply chuckled.

Phil could imagine Batman looking down on his director with disdain.

Even though Batman had always been aloof and indifferent, Phil couldn’t help but wonder if this number one superhero was racist!

As he thought that, his gaze fell on a couple not far away.

A moment later, he looked at the three men and one woman at the table next to him, and couldn’t help but sigh. Although this was a good thing, these people had been on Earth for too long! Was it really okay for them not to return to Asgard?

Phil had a lot of complaints about this matter, like why the only way Asgard had to enter and leave was by the Bifrost; even the crown prince didn’t know any other way.

This now proved one thing — if something happened to Asgard, unless God King Odin and God Queen Freya could find a way out, everyone else could only watch.

These Asgardian leaders had nothing to do on Earth, and could only fall in love and go sightseeing. The intelligence which they occasionally revealed confirmed that Odin had fallen into a deep sleep.

Last time, Thor’s brother, Loki, had lied that Odin was dead.

Putting this together, it was clear that there was a big problem with Asgard — internal conflict.

The outcome of this infighting was that Thor, the first heir to Asgard, was trapped on Earth and couldn’t reclaim his power.

Phil could only smile bitterly. Asgard’s defense measures were really good, but they were too unfriendly to the realm’s crown prince.
